OOOPS, we did it again!
Thanks to good-hearted people like @Batman we’ve managed to get a good page back for an outsider. Again, when we approached the original owner we were labeled scammers, but we understand. People have a hard time trusting others after they’ve been basically robbed. Long story short, not only did @Batman masterfully manipulated the scammer, we were able to get his real details (bank info, real name), so we will report him to the Pakistani cyber devision. Yes, yet again, users from Pakistan are giving us the most problems. The page the original owner lost was mostly built via paid ads, so we’re talking a huge potential loss here if the scammer was successful. Thankfully, he wasn’t, and another soul was saved
I should probably think about a new title for this topic, new members will quickly NOPE out of this site after seeing titles like that - Waiting for topic title ideas.
Thank you guys!
This guy hacked my page and he was harassing me and my business partner.
He had lots of fake accounts and contacted us from all of them.
I contacted Facebook and they told me to make a notarized declaration with the proof that the page is actually mine.
I did that (spent some money on that) send it to FB and still no actions.
SO thank you for that.
The page was hacked on 16 September so …a lot of time.
Thanks for joining. That’s odd though, some of our users were able to get their pages back the next day after sending in motorized letters. Perhaps Romanian pages don’t receive the same amount of support as US pages.
Just read through this whole thread. I really appreciate all the hard work and time the Swapd staff has put into recovering these hacked accounts. As a potential buyer I feel a lot better about purchasing through the site.
I once had a guy try to steal my page and I knew it so I asked for “reassurance”
He gave me business admin rights to a page and said I would not be able to remove him… which I could and I did. I found the original owner and gave it back to them.
I then asked for $100 via friends n family PayPal for assurance that he would not scam me. He sent $100 via friends and family. I scammed the scammer.
GUESS WHO’S BACK! BACK AGAIN! SWAPD SUPER HEROES (ACTUALLY IT’S @Batman)!
Yet again, our team is happy to say that thanks to the excellent work of @Batman, we were able to recover this account for the original owner (we will hand over the account later on today)
I would go into details, but it would be the same boring story. But, the gist of things looked like this:
User signs up.
User posts an IG for sale.
Buyer is interested, starts a checkout ticket.
Buyer notices hacked reports, lets admin know.
Admin first refuses as he was tired (:P) then went to bed, stating that we will do this tomorrow.
Admin wakes up, interviews the seller (after securing the account).
The seller admits to covering tracks, but somehow tried to whitewash himself. @Batman confirmed everything with the original owner.
Seller proceeds to verbally abuse us and tells us SWAPD didn’t make a good first impression on him.
Seller proceeds to make scam reports all over the web and call the police on us for “blackmailing” him.
Seller proceeds to call me a “Polish ■■■■ slave”
We ban the seller.
We will release the transcript of the ticket if we need to defend ourselves in the public. The sellers’ stories didn’t add up, we caught him lying every other message, and finally, with his back against the wall, he started abusing us. A big thanks to @Batman and his investigative work!
